ThinOS 9.X - Unable to hide floating bar on the left

We are unable to hide the left side bar with any version of ThinOS 9 on the 3040s we JUST bought. This option is not available for Horizon.

 

Due to this limitation we will have to downgrade these all to 8.6!

 

Very aggravating, and just looks poor that we have to downgrade for a missing feature that has been requested for so long. Shame.

 

Also annoying that it has to be done via USB booting, and not available as an option via https://us1.wysemanagementsuite.com/

It would be great if there was an option to hide all of the left hand sided bars.

 

Is this an option I'm just not finding?

There should be no need to Merlin back to 8.6

With ThinOS 9.1.5067 and the latest Horizon agent I am no longer seeing this. 

In addition, if you do not like the modern theme which introduces the side bar and want  the traditional desktop view like 8.6, switch the theme to "Classic"

I tried 5067 and was still unable to make the left hand side bar hide. I can make the floating bar hide, but it still shows a bar on the left with all available desktops, and apps. I do not want that available to the end users at all.

 

Classic looked like it was going to work, but it puts a new 'taskbar' at the bottom of the screen that I do not want users to see.

 

Due to these issues we are currently forced to merlin these new thin clients back to 8.6 which works as we need. Very sad indeed.

There appears to be no way to hide this bar that appears after login.

We do not want out users to have access to this.

I'm also looking for a way to hide/remove the toolbar in 9.x. I'm assuming the lack of replies means there's no way?

Also the login box, where the icons are on the desktop, and double-click vs single click

It appears their support has no resolution for this issue.

This has been a request since 2020 also.

 

Due to this limitation we have downgraded all our thin clients to 8.6.

That version of ThinOS does not have this problem at all.

Before ThinOS 9.1.5, the workaround was the "Classic" desktop . There is a bug in 9.1.5 and nothing appear on the desktop (due to an "anonymous" login apparently)

So we're still on ThinOS 8 as well... Just wondering if there are many people using ThinOS9 in production mode. This is a work in progress.

There are two identified bugs/features missing from ThinOS 9.1 (still as of 9.1.6108) that are being worked on by engineering.

1) Ability to hide the floating toolbar when using a published application in modern mode. Modern mode is new to ThinOS 9 so this is a new feature. 

2) Ability to hide the taskbar when using published application or desktop in Classic mode.  The classic mode was present in 8.6 and this ability existed and this effort is to match that.

If your scenario is different than those above, please make sure you get a case opened so it can be escalated to Engineering for feedback and to get it addressed.

When I have confirmation that it will be included in a public build and I am allowed to share, I will.

I suspect my issue is 2.

 

I want to hide the taskbar when they log in and select the citrix session they want to use. (The thinos desktop). Once they've loaded citrix session the toolbar is not visible.
